Description:Day of the Tentacle is the sequel to Maniac Mansion, but although based on the same basic premise, is a completely different game.
With insane artists that were seemingly taken directly from Warner Bros.' classic Road Runner, combined with the talent of the likes of Ron Gilbert, Day of the Tentacle is more than just a game: it is an insane, surreal adventure with a long and complex story.
Basically what happens is this: Purple Tentacle, one of crazy Dr. Fred's creations, drinks contaminated water from Dr. Fred's Sludge'o'matic, mutates into an insane genius and grows arms, and now he's plotting to take over the world.

With insane artists that were seemingly taken directly from Warner Bros.' classic Road Runner, combined with the talent of the likes of Ron Gilbert, Day of the Tentacle is more than just a game: it is an insane, surreal adventure with a long and complex story.

Basically what happens is this: Purple Tentacle, one of crazy Dr. Fred's creations, drinks contaminated water from Dr. Fred's Sludge'o'matic, mutates into an insane genius and grows arms, and now he's plotting to take over the world. In an effort to stop him, Dr. Fred sends the three insane friends, Bernard, Hoagie and Laverne back in time to yesterday, in order for them to turn off the Sludge'o'matic and stop the sludge from spilling into the river. Naturally, the cheap doctor uses a fake diamond over a real one in his time machine, which blows up sending Hoagie 200 years into the past and Laverne 200 years into the future.

This is where the story begins: with the help of a few items you can pass through time with the use of the Chron-o-John you must bring back Hoagie and Laverne and stop evil Purple from taking over the world.... (more)(less)
